Leading Public Groups reminds me a lot of the difference between playing or coaching football. In youth football every season brings new players, new faces, first time players, long time player, skillful, and the tragically skilless. In High School the players typically are the same group of guys every year with a couple new faces thrown in the mix. College it's the same crew every year with a couple of hot heads fresh out of high school to screw up the chemistry. Now of all the time I spent playing tackle football I would never compare any of it to leading a Public Group. That is what I'd refer to as a Premade.
Now once college ended for me and I started getting more serious about life, business, and my career I started playing flag football instead in hopes I'd preserve my knees long enough to toss the ball around with my kids. This is where I discovered the love for Pickup games. Each Saturday we'd go out to the field and have a bunch of guys and gals show up. Each week was a total random group of people. Players you've met, players you've never met. Strong and weak, tall and tiny. Every kind of player imaginable was out there. This is where I was introduced to the Public Group.
